"Voice Print translates spoken language into a visual system, where each transcription functions as a musical score that maps sound and time through typography, revealing patterns within speech that often go unnoticed."
"The project draws inspiration from artist and musician JJJJerome Ellis, whose work examines stuttering as a site of meaning and identity, treating disfluency as a source of structure, rhythm, and individuality."
"By visualizing speech in this way, Voice Print shifts attention from correctness to expression, highlighting how irregularities contribute to communication rather than disrupt it."
Voice Print by Isabelle Tan examines disfluencies like repetition and hesitation as integral to identity. The project translates spoken language into a visual system, creating a typographic score that maps sound and time. This design reveals unnoticed speech patterns and connects stuttering to melismatic singing. The book's essays reflect this approach, using layouts that embody rhythm and fluidity. By visualizing speech, Voice Print emphasizes expression over correctness, showcasing how irregularities enhance communication and proposing a new reading of speech that intertwines typography, sound, and identity.
